This initiative falls under the electricity distribution and control apparatus sector, taking place primarily at Daresbury Laboratory in England and partially in Madison, Wisconsin, USA. The tender is in the award stage, with key deadlines including the submission of bids by 25th June 2020 and the contract commencement on 13th July 2020, lasting until 24th August 2020. The procurement method adopted is an open procedure, designed for goods valued at £180,000. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in electrical engineering and control systems, particularly those capable of manufacturing intricate control panels for scientific applications. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would find this competition favourable, provided they can meet the technical specifications outlined in the initial tender documents. By engaging in this procurement process, businesses can gain not only immediate contracts but also long-term relationships in high-tech projects like the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). ## Notice The final date and time for the submission of bids is Thursday 25th June 2020 at 11:00. DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the Delta eSourcing Portal. Brief Description of Requirement: The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE Project) is an international collaboration focussed on Neutrino science and Proton decay studies. The experiment consists of a Neutrino Source based at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois; and two Neutrino detectors, one near field (local to the source), and one far field detector based at Sanford Deep Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota. The Neutrino's travel 1300km through the earth, from the source to the far field detector located 1.5KM below ground level, in a converted mine shaft. Anode Plane Assemblies (APA) are the building blocks to construct the large far field detector. An APA is a 6M x 2.3M rectangular frame which is wound with a fine Copper beryllium wire mesh and will be used to capture activity caused by passing Neutrino's. Electronics on the frame convert this activity into an electrical signal for measurement and analysis by Physicists. Further information can be found at: https://www.dunescience.org/ The requirement is for the vendor to build 6 electrical control panels which will operate 6 winding machines used to produce wound APA frames for the DUNE project. 4 of the control panels produced will control winders based at Daresbury Laboratory (DL), whilst the remaining 2 control panels will be shipped to the US to run 2 winders installed at the Physical Sciences laboratory (PSL) in Madison, Wisconsin, US. The winders will produce several hundred APA frames over the coming years. Please ensure you review all attached information to ensure a full understanding of this requirement.
